Treadmill to the stars!

Awhile back I found the electronics panel from a Norditrak and it got me to dreaming about building another spaceship. ANOTHER spaceship? Yes, I built 2 spaceships back in the 90's out of wood and pressboard. The 'Instruments' were my Amiga 500, my Betamax, a monitor, a telephone system, speakers and amp. That kind of stuff. I build 2. The first one a two-seater I never really finished, then tore it down and did a single seater with the captain's chair from the van I sold. The outside was finished with spraypainted thick cardboard bought from an upholstery suppply place. The ship was called the Falcon, complete with the emblem from the car called a Falcon. My ship was my refuge from the world. A place to retreat and relax. Watch a movie, play a game, etc.

In other news, My ISP provider has gone AWOL. I can still get my email, but can't connect to the net at home. It's been about 2 weeks, I think it's time to find another provider. Until that situation is resolved, I post however I can - trying to stick to once a week - preferrably on weekends. But we shall see how it all works out.

Hello

Welcome to my blog. Plutonium Casserole is my autobio comic about my experiences in life as an I.T. geek, artist, and comic fan.
I update weekly-depending on what else life throws at me. The date of when something actually happened will be referred to in the post, which is likely to not be the same as the post date since I take a week to put up a post. My styles might change as I try out new things, and try to get better/faster.

I do comics for a variety of reasons, one of which is to face my shyness and to be responsible with the talent I am given. Also I would hope my comics could reach other people with a light moment, or to share the little lessons I learn in life with anyone who might benefit from them.

I am new to cartooning, and have alot to learn. But, itleast I am trying, and skill is but the accumulation of alot or trying, eh?

I also have a blog where I post Smithee Zombie Hunter.
It is here at
http://smitheezombiehunter.blogspot.com/I recently redesigned it to be focused Smithee's comics alone, but there is older material there with random sketches and early Smithee art.
